BOOSTER PUMP & SUN SENSOR - NEW POOL CONSTRUCTION
In most situations your current filtration system has adequate pressure to supply water to the solar collector,
normally up to 8m high. Your water flow pressure is very dependable on the horse power of the filtration pump,
plumbing configuration etc.
If you are unsure about the necessity for a booster pump, try using your existing filtration first!
In the event that the desired place for your solar collector is on a roof top in excess of 8 metres high, install a
booster pump and sun sensor as per the diagram and instructions below.
The booster pump will require a direct water supply to and from your pool. If you are in the process of building a
swimming pool, we recommend installing the dedicated 1.5” pipework along the same pool fittings i.e. inlets etc.
Make sure the Electric Control System is only operational when the existing filtration is running!
Electronic Control Sensor monitors water and
air temperature.
Water Sensor:- activates booster pump to increase
water temperature to desired set point.
Sun Sensor:- allow booster pump to work only
when the sun is heating solar collector.
